I want to
thank you for your attention to my novel "The Life
and Adventures of Lyle Clemens." Although the review
in the Chronicle was unbelievably negative, I much appreciate
your courtesies in the matter.

I do hope
you'll be coming back soon. As usual, please my admiration
to [name withheld], and to you.

Regards,

I'm enclosing
copies of the letters I wrote to Mr. Kipen and Mr. Villalon.
